The corner-style entrance opens to a spacious living room with windows on both sides, filling the space with natural light. This room is large enough to divide into separate living and dining areas. Toward the back, the eat-in kitchen offers generous space. You can clean up what's there or start fresh — your choice.
Beyond the kitchen is a combined mudroom and laundry area, as well as the first FULL bathroom on the main floor with a stand-up shower.
Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms, including a very roomy front bedroom with double closets. A second FULL bathroom is also located on this level, along with two additional bedrooms with great light.
Out back, there's a private back yard with a chain-link fence and rear alley access — a convenient perk of the corner lot. The basement houses the oil burner, water heater, and main electric panel, and offers additional space for storage or projects. A Bilco door provides walk-out access to the sidewalk for convenience.
The roof is believed to be under 10 years old, but the condition of systems and appliances is unknown. The property needs a full renovation and is being sold STRICTLY AS_IS. Agents and their buyers: please use caution during showings, as the home is cluttered and may have signs of prior critter activity.

This is a fantastic opportunity in a sought-after location with easy access to downtown Wilmington, the Riverfront, and major highways — a smart addition to any investor’s portfolio. MULTIPLE OFFERS Offer deadline: midnight Sunday, October. 5 The sellers will respond to offers as soon as possible
